Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of methods and systems consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a CDN refresh method according to an exemplary embodiment.
As shown in fig. 1, the method provided by this embodiment includes the following steps:
step S11, the central device of the CDN system receives the refresh request sent by the user and sends the refresh request to the device of the next level;
step S12, the device of the next level receives the refresh request and sends it to the device of the next level until the refresh request is sent to the edge node;
step S13, the edge node of the CDN system receives the refresh request and refreshes the data file according to the refresh request;
the devices of the CDN system are divided into multiple tiers in advance.
For example, first, a device is selected from devices in the CDN system as a top-level device, that is, a central device, and is used to receive a refresh request sent by a user; the next level device of the central device is a secondary distribution device, any one device in the layer of devices has good network connectivity with the central device, and the set of devices in the layer can be connected to all edge node devices in the whole network. Therefore, the refreshing request is ensured to be quickly sent to the secondary distribution equipment from the central equipment, the secondary distribution equipment can send the refreshing request to all the edge node equipment of the whole network, and the edge node equipment executes the refreshing operation after receiving the refreshing request. All edge nodes of the whole network can obtain the refreshing request; the point that the task of sending the refresh request is concentrated on the central equipment is avoided, and the refresh effect is ensured.
In this embodiment, since the devices of the CDN system are pre-divided into multiple tiers, the central device of the CDN system receives a refresh request sent by a user and sends the request to the device of the next tier; the equipment of the next level receives the refreshing request and sends the refreshing request to the equipment of the next level until the refreshing request is sent to the edge node; an edge node of the CDN system receives the refreshing request and refreshes the data file according to the refreshing request; and because the devices of the adjacent hierarchies have good network connectivity, the refresh request can be quickly sent to the devices of the next hierarchy until the edge node. Therefore, equipment of each edge node can quickly receive the refresh request and then execute the refresh operation; the problem of failure in sending the refresh request caused by directly sending the refresh request to all other devices by one edge device is avoided, and the refresh effect is improved.
Further, the receiving the refresh request includes:
directly receiving a refresh request sent by equipment of a previous layer; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,
receiving device information sent by a device of a previous level, selecting a device from devices of the same level according to the device information, and receiving a refresh request from the selected device, wherein the device corresponding to the device information is the device of the same level and has received the refresh request sent by the device of the previous level.
Further, the method further comprises:
after receiving the refresh request, the device feeds back a signal of obtaining the refresh request to the device of the previous layer;
and after receiving the signal, the device at the upper layer records the device information obtained from the refresh request so as to send the device information.
In the process that the lower layer device acquires the refresh request from the upper layer device, if the lower layer device already has a device which takes the refresh request to be acquired, the upper layer device returns the device information with the refresh request to the lower layer device, and the lower layer device requests the latest refresh request from other devices in the layer. For example, after receiving a refresh request, a central device (i.e., a first-layer device) sends a request for obtaining the refresh request to the central device, and after receiving the request, the central device sends the refresh request to the device; when a second device on a second layer sends a request for obtaining a refreshing request to a central device, the central device feeds back recorded device information of a first device to the second device, the second device sends the request for obtaining the refreshing request to the first device on the same layer, the first device sends the obtained refreshing request to the second device, the second device feeds back a signal for obtaining the refreshing request to the central device after receiving the refreshing request, and the central device records the device information of the second device after receiving the signal; when a third device on a second layer sends a request for obtaining a refresh request to a central device, the central device feeds back device information of a first device and a second device on the same layer to the third device, the third device selects one device from the first device and the second device according to the device information, sends the request for obtaining the refresh request to the selected device, after receiving the request, the selected device sends the refresh request to the third device, after receiving the refresh request, the third device feeds back a signal that the refresh request has been obtained to the central device, and after receiving the signal, the central device records the device information of the third device; the same is true of the method for obtaining the refresh request by the other devices of the second layer, such as the fourth device and the fifth device of the second layer.
Similarly, the method for sending the refresh request to the third-layer device by the device of the second layer and sending the refresh request to the fourth-layer device by the third-layer device until the edge device receives the refresh request is the same as the above method.
It is understood that, in the case that the number of devices in the next layer is small, the device in the previous layer may directly feed back a specific refresh request to the device that makes a request in the next layer.
Further, the device information includes a duration used by the device that has acquired the refresh request when acquiring the refresh request;
the selecting the device from the devices in the same hierarchy according to the device information includes:
comparing the time lengths;
the device with the smallest duration for obtaining the refresh request is selected.
The shortest equipment performance is optimal when the refresh request is obtained, and the equipment with the optimal performance is selected to send the refresh request to other equipment on the same layer, so that the sending speed of the refresh request can be improved.
Further, the edge node comprises a plurality of edge devices;
the method for the edge node of the CDN system to receive the refreshing request and refresh the data file according to the refreshing request comprises the following steps:
any edge device in each edge node receives the refreshing request and sends the refreshing request to other edge devices in the edge nodes;
and after receiving the refreshing request, the other edge devices in each edge node refresh the data file corresponding to the refreshing request.
Since the secondary distribution device of the next level of the central device can be connected to all the edge node devices of the whole network, any one device in each edge node can be selected to form a tertiary distribution device, and the rest devices in each edge node form the bottommost device, which is the handler of the final refresh request. The third-level distribution device is used for sending a refresh request to other devices (bottommost devices) in the edge node, and the bottommost devices execute corresponding refresh operations after receiving the refresh request.
It should be noted that the method for sending the refresh request to the bottommost device by the third-level distribution device is the same as the method for sending the refresh request to the second-level distribution device by the central device.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a CDN refresh method according to another exemplary embodiment.
As shown in fig. 2, the method provided by this embodiment may include the following steps:
step S11, the central device of the CDN system receives the refresh request sent by the user and sends the refresh request to the device of the next level;
step S12, the device of the next level receives the refresh request and sends it to the device of the next level until the refresh request is sent to the edge node;
step S13, the edge node of the CDN system receives the refresh request and refreshes the data file according to the refresh request;
step S14, generating a refresh result;
and step S15, feeding back the refreshing result to the equipment of the previous level layer by layer until the central equipment receives the refreshing result.
The devices of the CDN system are divided into multiple tiers in advance.
Specifically, in step S15, the reporting of the refresh result is performed periodically from bottom to top layer by layer. The device of one layer will report its immediate next layer and the refresh result fed back from the immediate next layer to its previous layer, up to the central device of the topmost layer. For example, after refreshing a corresponding data file according to a refresh request, the bottommost device generates a refresh result, and then feeds back the refresh result to the third-level distribution device, the third-level distribution device feeds back the refresh result to the second-level distribution device after receiving the refresh result, the second-level distribution device feeds back the refresh result to the central device after receiving the refresh result, and the central device receives the refresh result; thus, the central device can dynamically see the progress of the refresh processing in the entire network.
In the embodiment, not only can the equipment of each edge node quickly receive the refresh request and then execute the refresh operation; the problem of failure in sending the refresh request caused by directly sending the refresh request to all other devices by one edge device is avoided, and the refresh effect is improved. Furthermore, the central device can dynamically see the processing progress of the refreshes in the whole network.

Further, the receiving, by the intermediate device and/or the edge node, the refresh request specifically includes:

receiving device information sent by a device of a previous level, selecting a device from devices of the same level according to the device information, and receiving a refresh request from the selected device, wherein the device corresponding to the device information is the device of the same level and has received the refresh request sent by the device of the previous level.
Further, after receiving the refresh request, the intermediate device and/or the edge node is further configured to:
and feeding back a signal for acquiring the refresh request to the equipment of the previous layer, so that the equipment of the previous layer records the equipment information for acquiring the refresh request after receiving the signal, and sending the equipment information.

For a better understanding of the present application, the operation of the system is described in detail below with reference to fig. 4.
Referring to fig. 4, the present embodiment is described by taking the intermediate device as a hierarchy.
Specifically, the whole CDN refresh system is divided into four levels, the top level is a central device 31, the middle device 32 of the second level is composed of a first device 321, a second device 322, and a third device 323, the third level is composed of one device arbitrarily selected from each of three edge nodes, namely a first edge node 331, a second edge node 332, and a third edge node 333, where the first edge device 3311 in the first edge node 331, the second edge device 3321 in the second edge node 332, and the third edge device 3331 in the third edge node 333 constitute a third level; the fourth level is comprised of the remaining edge devices of each edge node, here fourth edge device 3312, fifth edge device 3313, sixth edge device 3322, seventh edge device 3323, eighth edge device 3332, and ninth edge device 3333, which comprise the devices of the fourth level.
The flow of the refresh request sent from the central device to the second tier device (intermediate device) is as follows:
firstly, central device 31 receives a refresh request sent by a user;
second, the first device 321 in the second layer obtains a refresh request from the central device;
thirdly, the central equipment feeds back a refreshing request to the first equipment;
fourthly, after receiving the refreshing request, the first equipment feeds back a signal of acquiring the refreshing request to the central equipment;
